Upgrading from a 50g cadlights artisan to a 90g custom

[tapout]

I am soon to be upgrading from my 50g artisan to a 90g custom build and I just wanted to put some pics up from my 50g before the transition.

Let me start off with a quick equipment list:

Flow: 2 mp40ews
Return: tunze 1070.02
Skimmer: swc 120
lighting: ecotech radion
I run carbon and gfo in a brs reactor, the temp and ph monitored by a reefkeeper lite and I recently just added a reef octopus biopellet reactor

FTS:

My current fish stock list:

Mystery wrasse pair
2 firefish
clownfish pair (1 black ocellaris, 1 snowcasso)
1 mandarin dragonet
1 yellow watchman goby
1 flaming prawn goby

Excuse the bryopsis I have had a heck of a time fighting it but the kent magnesium seems to be solving it.


As far as my coral stock list I have lots of chalices and palys with a few sps corals here are a few pics of some of them.
